EP68: Advice From Monk (Part Two)

It was around 1960 when Steve Lacy, a saxophonist in Thelonious Monk’s band at the time, wrote down a series of items, pieces of advice that Monk had conveyed to him while touring in 1960 and 1961. Long before there was an internet, Lacy’s handwritten list went viral. In Episode 67, we covered the first 11 items on the list. In this episode we discuss the meaning or implications of the remaining items.
